Definitions
- the present invention relates to an induction device for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine, which is equipped with a plurality of induction valves, and with at least one exhaust valve per each cylinder, in particular with two induction valves per each cylinder, and which is equipped with drive means for said valves, wherein said induction device comprises individual induction manifolds, one manifold per each cylinder, and with at least two induction ducts branching off from each individual manifold, and leading to the corresponding cylinder through the above said induction valves, and wherein the two induction valves belonging to each cylinder are driven with lift laws respectively optimized for low revolution speed running and for high revolution speed running of the engine.
- the engines equipped with a plurality of induction valves per each cylinder, and, possibly, with more than one exhaust valves, have, as compared to the engines with only two valves per cylinder, a larger actual surface area of passage through the valves; this fact favours the exchange of the gases inside the combustion chamber, because a larger amount of air, and consequently, of gasoline, can be introduced, and a larger amount of flue gases can be exhausted, during a time unit.
- This patent also provides for a respective choke valve to be installed inside each induction duct, with one of said choke valves being operated by the accelerator pedal, and the other being operated by a suitable actuator, in such a way that it may remain closed under low revolution speed conditions.
- the main purpose of the present invention is a simpler and cheaper solution, featuring an as satisfactory performance.
- the present invention aims at achieving a high torque, together with reduced fuel consumptions and minimum emissions of polluting substances, when the engine operates at low speeds, and at increasing the peak power at high revolution speeds.
- a respective choke valve has been installed inside each induction manifold, according to a solution per se known, in particular for engines equipped with two valves per cylinder, and furthermore at least one fuel injector has been installed inside each individual induction manifold, downstream the respective choke valve, in an off-centre position relatively to the longitudinal axis of the same manifold, and shifted towards the side of the induction duct equipped with the induction valve having the lift law optimized for the low revolution speed operating conditions.
- FIG. 1 and 2 a diagram is shown of an internal combustion engine equipped with four valves per cylinder; by the reference numeral 10, two cylinders are indicated, by the reference numerals 11 and 12 the respective induction valves, by 13 and 14 the respective exhaust valves, by 15 the spark plugs are indicated.
- a relevant choke valve, for choking the feed indicated by the reference numeral 22, is installed; the choke valves 22 are connected with each other by a diagrammatically represented shaft 23, and are operatively linked with the accelerator pedal, not shown in the figures, as usual in the art.
- an electroinjector is installed inside each manifold 16, downstream the relevant choke valve 22, an electroinjector, generally indicated by the reference numeral 24, is installed.
- Each electroinjector 24 is mounted off-centre relatively to the longitudinal axis 17 of the relevant manifold 16, i.e., shifted towards the side of the duct 18.
- the electroinjector 24 can also be mounted coaxial with the axis 19 of the duct 18.
- the induction duct 18 with which the injector 24 is associated has a first portion 18′ having its axis substantially parallel to the axis of the manifold 16 from which the duct 18 branches off, and a second portion having its axis 19 forming an angle with said axis substantially parallel to the axis of the manifold 16; the axis of the electroinjector 24 and the axis of the first portion 18′ of the induction duct 18 are on a same plane, and the electroinjector 24 is located with its axis being skew relatively to the axis of the second portion of the induction duct 18.
- the induction valves 11 and 12 and the exhaust valves 13 and 14 are operatively connected with respective cam shafts, not shown in the figures, constituting the driving means for these valves.
- the induction valves 11 are operated by cams having a lift law (a) so computed as to obtain high torques, low consumption rates and reduced emissions of polluting substances under partial-load operating conditions, e.g., such a law as shown in Figure 3 by the curve 311.
- induction valves 12 they are operated by means of cams with a lift law (a), so computed as to increase the peak power of the engine, e.g., such as that shown in Figure 3 by the curve 312.
- the opening stroke of the valve 11 is narrower than of the valve 12, with the starting of valve 11 opening being delayed relatively to that of the valve 12, relatively to the top dead centre (TDC), and the crossing (i.e., the simultaneous opening astride the TDC) of the induction valves 11 and exhaust valves 13 is minimum, whilst the crossing of the induction valves 12 and exhaust valves 14 is wide.
- the induction stroke of a cylinder 10 begins with the opening of the relevant valve 12; through it, a stream of air only, or of weakly carburetted air enters, which assumes a whirling movement with a rather high speed, having a lower specific gravity than the air-gasoline mixture.
- valve 11 opens, and through it a stream of strongly carburetted air enters, because all of the fuel delivered by the electroinjector 24 during the injection stroke, or most of it, enters the duct 18.
- the rich-in-fuel mixture is prevented from passing unburnt to the exhaust port, because the crossing between the induction valves 11 and the exhaust valves 13 is small, whilst the crossing between the induction valve 12, which is concerned by an only air stream, and the exhaust valve 14, is wide.
